Brazilian midfielder Anderson could
be on his way out of Old Trafford to find first team football and give
himself a chance of playing at in his home World Cup in 2014.

According to Goal.com, a number of
South American clubs are interested in signing the 24-year-old, while
Porto are also hoping to bring him back to the club where he started his European career in a
loan deal.

Anderson could also be used in a part-exchange deal for Porto's Colombian
attacker James Rodriguez.

'Anderson is desperate to play for Brazil in 2014 and knows he needs some regular match time,' a source told Goal.com. 'Sir Alex can't offer him the first-team football that he wants.'

United would be looking for a fee of between £17m and £22m, but it is unlikely that any of the interested clubs could match that price. co

Several Brazilian clubs have used third-party sponsors to fund the signings of big-name players in recent years, most notably when Flamengo captured Ronaldinho from AC Milan in 2011.
